I do have 71s but I also know of several 1980s 6v92s that have never been overhauled and still running fine with 2000 - 3000 hours. All in 46 Posts.
There’s no benefit. The few small advantages are far outweighed by the downside of the added complication. Despite what DD sales brochures of the...
I know of many DD’s from the 80s that have never been overhauled and run just fine. Including mine.
